MVP concept

A local discovery experience centered around curated maps:

  • Browse places → view place details → save → follow
  • Download maps, share live location, explore scenic routes
  • Update amenities, confirm booking, payment through third party.

Proposed Solution (Low-Fidelity)

MVP scope

For users

  • Browse curated maps
  • Explore local events
  • View place details (basic info + tags)
  • Save places
  • Follow maps/creators
  • Share locations
  • Keywords search

For contributors

  • Create a map
  • Prompt with keywords for reviews
  • Easy to find buttons
  • Add places with notes/tags
  • Lightweight recognition signals

Not in MVP (intentionally)

  • Social feed
  • Full reviews
  • Ads/paid placements
  • Heavy gamification
  • Advanced moderation tooling

Reason: validate the core loop and content health before expanding scope.
